Cape Pensula University of Technology (CPUT), a university in Cape Town, is the only university of Technology in the Western Cape, and is also the largest university in the province, with over 29 000 students.

It is a result of the merger in 2005 between the Cape Technikon and Pensinsula Technikon. CPUT takes a unique path in higher education. The large majority of courses (arranged in six faculties) incorporate in-service training, which consists of an internship, ranging from six months to three years.

The University’s comprehensive co-operative education policy ensures students are placed within a company that is pre-approved; this ensures that academic learning is reinforned by practical work-based experience.
